ABSTRACT:
A device for bringing about the closure of one or both eyes of a doll composed of two rigid arms, one fixed and the other swinging. The arms pass through a mounting neck flange joining the head and body of the doll. The two arms are separated by a spring placed between them within the cavity of the body of the doll. A portion of the fixed arm within the head of the doll incorporates an axis for rotation of first ends of a pair of bent levers. The bent levers are equipped with slots through which a single pin is adapted to translate. The pins join to the end of an actuating lever affixed to the swinging arm. When manual pressure is applied to the body of the doll, the swinging arm is displaced toward the fixed arm causing the two bent levers to swing and their two free ends to move toward each other. The free ends are rotationally attached to portions above and below at least one eye, causing the eye to close. The bent levers may be attached to only one eye simulating a winking motion, or may be attached to both eyes simulating a sleeping state of the doll.
